Tell us about your dock set up and the matting you are using . Looks interesting.

Hi Dave, By 'dock set up and the matting' I assume you mean the material I use on the ramp. It is 'expanded metal'. It is like the stuff they put on trailer gates and sides. I have 6 sheets of the stuff - (3) off 10 by 4 feet and (3) off 8 by 4 feet. They make for an overall size of 12 feet wide by 18 feet long. They are heavy gauge sheets. I don't recall the gauge number, but a 4x8 sheet weighs close to 70 pounds. Also, my present sheets are galvanized. I used to have straight steel, but they rusted out in a couple of years. The galvanized is holding up just great. The expanded metal sheets are sitting on 357 gravel, although I suspect you could put them on about anything.<br /><br />I should also mention that I tie the sheets together with safety wire.<br /><br />If you would like a picture, I could post one tomorrow.

Ha- It always seems that the times you try to take off with the wheels down somebody is watching.<br />Don - I had originally planned on going to that fly in on the way home but my muffler separated at the flange when I landed at St Simons island and I had to use tons of safety wire to hold the muffler in place so it wasn't banging around while I flew. . So I decided to go straight home and avoid the flyin and potential more issues with the muffler.

Cool job, Kev! <br /><br />Hey, if you're flying northeast from Jeff's today (Sunday, 18 May), there's a splash-in on Lake Anna in VA. Coords: 38.07650, -77.81230. Splash in!
